Makhai

Makhai is a cheerful, optimistic spirit who adores his Master, though she acts coldly towards him. As it turns out, he was the antagonist and revealed to be extremely broken and violently insane in his obsession with Darya, eventually becoming the mastermind behind her parent’s murder. He is a walking spoiler.

Appearance
He has black, long hair that is in a neat, low ponytail with a single, small braid left loose and hung over his shoulder. Darya was the first to braid a part of his hair and he kept re-doing it afterwards.

He originally had brown eyes as a human but they turned to gold when he "died."

Personality
Makhai has a cheery personality and is quite attached to his Master. He deeply respects and admires Darya despite the fact that she is no longer a Kamui. Though Darya also cares about him, she usually finds him too hard and exhausting to bear with.

Makhai was a loyal familiar to Darya, however, he was not afraid to act without command, even against his master's orders and wishes as long as he thought it was right.

Background
Little is known about his human life past the fact that he died as a child and became a Nekhii due to the First Realm's interference (war casualty) with death.

Etymology
In Greek mythology, the Makhai (or Machai, Machae) were the daemons (spirits) of battle and combat. They would appear in battles alongside other spirits and gods linked to war.
